William Hodge Stars in The Man from Home in Indiana Style
William Hodge performs in The Man from Home with a distinct Hoosier atmosphere during Friday and Saturday shows and Saturday matinee. The Indiana play, set in Sorrento Italy, was written by Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson and inspired by Kokomo and Terre Haute. Pike, the lawyer character, is from Kokomo. Hodge studied Voorhees lore with local figures in Terre Haute to capture the persona, though final portrayal centers on the character’s name. He will also appear in Indianapolis for a two week stint on tour.
